Oswald & Kalb - Vienna

The greeting was warm and welcoming and the service was prompt and attentive. the atmosphere is very pleasant and elegant. great for date night. the table and the utensils are all clean and fresh with beautiful table linen. the serviettes are paper I thought...was strange, but certainly not away from the culinary experience. started with cream the pumpkin soup. the presentation was pleasant and the aroma appetizing. from first to last, the taste was wonderful. hauptkurs was braised lamb with ratatouille and polenta. absolutely lovely. dessert was chocolate lava cake with saw (shield over the photo. I forgot to make the picture before I ate it.) a very nice end to a fantastic meal. the portions are generous and the presentation is excellent. the price is fair, somewhat more than moderate, but it is worth for the fantastic eating, wonderful atmosphere and excellent service.

Hier bekommt man frisch zubereitete Gerichte, ein umfassende Beratung und passende Getränke.Wir hatten Filetspitzen mit Eierschwammerlgulasch und Serviettenknödel, dazu Weißwein.Alles einigermaßen preiswert, wenn man die gebotene Qualität heranzieht. Dazu kamen wir mit dem Kellner in ein lockeres Plaudern.Alles sehr urig, sehr wienerisch.

Wir sind dieses Jahr nach Wien gereist, um uns auf Falco Spuren zu begeben. Da ist natürlich ein Besuch bei OSWALD & KALB ein muss. Als ich meiner Familie die Historie erklärte, bat uns der Kellner ins Restaurante. Dort erwarten uns die Besitzer und erzählten uns von damals.Wir haben klassisch Wiener Schnitzel gegessen ... es war Weltklasse. Rundum eine absolute Top-Adresse, wenn ihr mal nach Wien kommt.

Reading the menu, we expected more refined food. The service was very quick (a bit too quick) and the waiter gave too much the impression of being in a hurry although the restaurant wasn’t crowded. The food was certainly good, but we expected a...bit more for the price we paid.

I was staying close to Oswald und Kalb in Hoher Markt and this restaurant was recommended by my Austrian colleague. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern with a wonderful selection of Austrian food. Vienna can be quite variable in terms of restaurant...quality, likely due to the large number of tourists. However, Oswald und Kalb was reassuringly full of locals and, for us, was an excellent example of a modern and higher-end take on Viennese cuisine. I would heartily recommend this restaurant, though suggest booking as it can be very busy.
